The Mission of the Synod of the Mid-Atlantic is to engage in the ministry of Jesus Christ and the mission of the Presbyterian Church (USA) as described in the Great Ends of the Church by providing information, encouragement, and support in caring for its member presbyteries, congregations, and members.
The grant program is designed to support a broad range of causes, as indicated by the establishment of the McCallum Trust Fund by the McCallum family. The income from this fund is allocated annually to provide financial support for these causes. The overarching goal of the grant is to extend financial assistance to initiatives or needs that align with the philanthropic spirit of the Presbyterian community, as facilitated by contributions from the community itself. This initiative encourages continued support through various forms of giving to maintain and expand its grant funding capabilities.
